Arabplast is the leading trade exhibition in the Middle East and North African region and this issue carries a Special Supplement on the show with information on the region’s thriving plastics and rubber industry, as well as the products that are exhibited. This is an important event to catch if you would like to assess the MENA market and see what raw materials, technologies and machinery are in demand in this vast market.
Another article features the recent developments in PET bottle-to-bottle recycling and the vital role played by a highly efficient extruder in cost control and environment protection. The focus on energy generation and how plastics are increasingly being used to tap renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, brings a realisation that opportunities in this sector abound and should not be underestimated.
A special report by our MENA correspondent tackles the green technology challenge and how companies are moving towards the use of advanced technologies to minimise carbon footprint. Representatives from three leading companies provided their views on the steps these companies have taken and what they hope to achieve to ensure that that their operations constantly meet the goal of sustainability.
